Park in the town centre square in Dourgne.
(S/E) Walk along the arcades where the Tourist Office is located, Route d'Arfons.
(1) Leave the first road on the left towards Massaguel and turn at the next one (Allée Saint-Stapin) towards the campsite and picnic area, which you will reach after 800 m. Follow the yellow markings and go to the end of Allée de Saint-Stapin.
(2) Take the path that climbs up to the left, following the Taurou river on your right. You will have beautiful views of the Roc de la Bade and the statue of Saint-Stapin.
(3) Stay on the main path, which turns left, leaving the path leading to the statue of Saint-Stapin on your right. Continue to the road: you will enter the pastoral area of La Capelette.
(4) Continue straight ahead, leaving the road leading to the En Albouy farm on your left. Walk alongside the sheep pens for about 500 metres.
(5) At the 90° right-hand bend, take the grassy path on the left between two fences. At the end of this path, turn left again and follow the track that will take you to a large cross and then to the Chapel of Saint-Ferréol.
(6) About 80 metres after the chapel, go down to the left through the cattle gate. Feel free to turn around from time to time to admire the chapel from different angles! In wet weather, the end of the descent is quite muddy and walking sticks may be useful. You will come out onto a road (Rue du Barry).
(7) Turn left and follow it for just under 400 metres.
(8) Turn right onto the stony path which turns left at a right angle after 400 metres. Then walk along the wall surrounding the Abbey of Sainte-Scolastique and you will come out onto the road leading to Massaguel.
(9) Follow the road to the right and cross the Pont de l'Albarède bridge. At the next intersection, continue straight ahead on the one-way road that leads back up to the village.
(1) At the top, turn right to return to your starting point in the town centre square (S/E).
